Man, the Big Air set-up is HUGE! It is placed inside the Home Depot Center and barely fits. Practice was going on today and Anthony Napolitan, Dave Mirra, Steve McCann, Rooftop and Morgan Wade were at it. Respect, respect, respect! Just dropping in would be nuts let alone jumping the big gap. Napolitan has frontflipped the small set, Mirra backflipped the huge set on the right and blasted a big air

after that on the quarterpipe. Also looking good is Steve McCann whose invert on the quarter was insane. The height is measured by transponders underneath the bottom bracket making it fair and accurate. Morgan Wade supermanned to gap and will be ready for the event. Chad Kagy hurt his knee and it's not sure if he will make it. Knowing him he'll do anything to climb on that ramp later this week. We'll keep you posted from Los Angeles, the City of Angels, earthquakes and Big Airs.
